More quotes by Leonard Cohen
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking. Everybody knows the captain lied. Everybody got this broken feeling, like their father or their dog just died. Everybody talking to their pockets. Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stem rose. Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
Leonard Cohen
I've expressed my gratitude to my son many times. And his career is far from undistinguished, and it was a great privilege to have someone of this skill bringing this album to conclusion.
Leonard Cohen
Fare thee well my nightingale, I lived but to be near you. Thow you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you.
Leonard Cohen
The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
Leonard Cohen
As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free!!
Leonard Cohen
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Leonard Cohen
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then it’s time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette I tuned the old banjo. I’m wanted at the traffic-jam. They’re saving me a seat.
Leonard Cohen
I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together.
Leonard Cohen
Do not be a magician - be magic!
Leonard Cohen
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
When you're younger, you do have that thing that you were talking about where the mouth goes dry. I mean you have reactions, and you do fall in love.
Leonard Cohen
The psychologists are valiantly trying to provide us with answers, the religious people are trying to provide us with answers. I think it properly falls on the cultural workers to investigate this predicament with a little less concern for the marketplace and a little more concern for their higher calling.
Leonard Cohen
As soon as anybody does one of my songs, I rejoice. This particular case of all these great singers doing my work - the implications are very rich and the temptation to think of the outcome of these masses of the mainstream injecting my work into the marketplace, it's a very sweet speculation.
Leonard Cohen
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
